I found motla68's creative handling of presentments to be very intriguing, particularly for its simplicity. In the many lively exchanges between motla68 and David Merrill on the subject, new insights were emerging. David was distilling down the process as to what effected setoff. It became apparent that the lawful money verbiage was the key, which brings lawful money remedy to a whole new level.
This inspired me to test it out and the annoying parking ticket that had been sitting on my desk would fit the bill. I tried stamping the ticket, but it smeared because it is that slick type of thermal paper. So, I now had a ticket with an illegible ink smudge on it. I fixed it by printing the verbiage on a 1x4 inch address label and sticking it over the mess. I then mailed it off in the envelope provided.

As far as the possibility of it being sent to collections, there has been no evidence of that and according to their policy, fines have to go unpaid 60 days before they are sent to collections.
It appears that the public servant trustees did their job!
